Imagine being able to use your computer to make phone calls with the help of special software and a microphoneâand bypassing your phone company and their charges.
So O2 has zero of heat of formation (or enthalpy of formation). The enthalpy of a reaction is defined like this: H = Hproducts-H reactants. The enthalpy of reaction in this case, is the same as the heat of combustion. Hproducts is obtained summing the heats of formation.
Reactant + Oxygen ----> Oxide(s) + heat Above is a general formula for a combustion reaction. Every combustion reaction gives off energy. Depending on the reactants the oxide â¦ is formed.
